We've come a long way

I like the shape of this house, even though that one wall has no windows. And even though the brick has five coats too many of paint, I like the color. Notice the coal chute door in the foundation.

* In case anyone was wondering, my fondness for Detroit comes from a river, a boat, a disco. It's where I learned to drive a stick shift in a little, black XJS on a snow packed road under a canopy of snow covered trees on a moonlit night by someone who spoke very little English. (Okay, I tried to learn.) But, most of all, the people are very tough and so inspiring. "A public flogging by a red-faced mob."
